It fixes #2675
Currently,
less
will perform the search on all the content that is written on its STDIN. To make it ignore the headers and the line numbers,less
, from version 600, has added 2 new options:--header
to set the headers (filename, file size, and panel text)--no-search-headers
to ignore those headers.So, I will use those 2 options to make the search work correctly.
Btw, as I said above, this fix is only applicable for
less
version from 600 and above because those options only existed from that version.
